The Rescued Men Ordered to Be Arrested.
A Mystery.

PHILADELPHIA, December 24.-Csptain
Walton of the schooner c. G.. Cranmer,
which has arrived at this port from Norfolk
tells story which may result in three OF
the crew ofthe water-logged and abandon
ed schooner D. & E. Kelly being tried for
the murder Of their captain on the high
seas.

he had been murdered There were fingsr
marks on his throat and several bruises on
his head. Beside him lay pistol with one
chamber empty.
The steamship Olin, which arrived at
New York on Tuesday last, had on board
John W. Coleman, Frank Taylor and
David b. Campbell, all belonging to the
Kelly. She took the men from the water

Kelly and try and tow her to port. She
lies, it is thought, east-southeast of Cape
Henlopen. No cause can be assigned for
the murder Of the captain except robbery.
